'Doodle' is a fantastic understatement here! Wow! I'd no idea of your talents in this genre too (satire, editorial cartoon?). I'd love to know the sub-plots here - how you got to be hanging around in the kitchen, what prompted the drawing ...?

Gosh tanks!Really not a big mystery. I met the Le Cirque team many times while shooting at the James Beard Foundation. Sometimes I'd drop off photos or drawings I'd done from photos at the restaurant. The team in the back were terrific. Sometimes I was comped for lunch on a birthday say..but snacking in the back was the best!My truffle days...

Fabulous post! I love the 'Old New York' and nice to know with Le Cirque it still exists. I knew a chef from the Jackie Kennedy days who said she was so thoughtful. And saw Carmen once in San Francisco. A gazelle.

What a great doodle..vraiment!No wonder they took it..:-) I have heard of this restorant for years and years of course:-) Never been of course:-) Took Jacques for a muffin and coffee to a cute little place amongst quasi-suburbia..and he said your muffins are better...See why we rarely go out?I like the small experiments..you learn..You learn so much Carol!Carmen..then and now..quelle belle femme.

How wonderful that the great people of La Cirque included your doodle in their book! I have never been there, but have read many a story about the magnificent original place. I almost feel they are my own memories.

I never ate at the original, but did dine there for Restaurant Week this summer. Delicious meal, snobbish maître d'. Heard him telling the hostesses to shuffle the Restaurant Week crowd to the more casual side of the restaurant. They tried to do this to us but we asked for fancier side.

I know Sirio from my parents and I went to school with Marco, who is a doll by the way, Le Cirque from old is the one that I knew and loved. Fantastic post and I am a huge fan of yours!!Have a wonderful day!Laurie

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
